G'day Bill. Interesting isn't it. Two friendly countries divided by a common language.

Here in Beaver Falls, we don't know what a wanker is. Uh, maybe we don't want to know.

Oh, you do but call it something else.

Hi Randy,

Since you worked on the development of this engine, somewhat, how do you compare it in run style and power to a PA .51, which seems to be the area this engine would be competing with.

Thanks
Bill

Hi Bill

It is not a PA, it is closer to the MVVS 49, The last one I had they still did not have the P/S right and were using steel as the sleeve material with a lapped Al piston, I see they have now gone to brass, I also did not fit one into my airplane so I cannot tell you any details about that. These have been years in developing as I have seen many models of these over about 4 or 5 years

How 'bout a Short Snorter with a Snorer?

Hi,
Several engines of my collection. The "Snorer" drives with authority to "Tutor II".
Snorer does "roncador" in Spanish.

Wanker!!!!!

Actually, Snorer is a pretty good name for a stunt engine. Most of them run 4 cycle, which sounds like someone snoring, as opposed to a high speed two cycle.

Hi Juan,
you use an inboard mounted tank and still have the exhaust offset to clear an outboard mounted one?

Probably better to rotate it 180º to be closer to the fuselage and have the outlet pointing down - if it fits that is.

Hiya Paul,

Just as a World-beating stunt design alone wont take you to the winners circle, a world-beating engine wont either. Just as a good model takes time at the stick to become a winner, an engine takes a fair amount of tinkering and expiramenting. There also seems to be allot off double-talk by people reguarding engines. People complain about the lack of CL engines on the market, yet when manufacturers come up with one, very few people buy them in favor of what is available in the cottage industry. Build a quick-and-easy profile, buy one of these "snorers", and start the R&D process. Fuel, props, NVA, venturi's, ect. are all tools to bring engines to life. It could take awhile--a season or maybe two-- to find the right setup, but its worth it in the end if you come out with a sweet-running powerplant.

Why all this chat about the engines name?
I have several engines named 'Stalker'. They are more happy pulling model airplanes than following women.

This is exactly what I did when I started messing with Saito 4 strokes, it took the better part of a year to get from almost giving up to having an engine run I was really happy with. My pay-off was being able to fly head to head against anything using a $150.00 engine bought used from an RC guy.

Hmm, reminds me of when my wife looked at my oily diesel 'PAW' boxes in the garage.

She quipped "There is no way that you are ever touching me with those stinky diesel paws!"

(Actually took me a second to catch on to what she was on about.)

Looks like a sleeper, possibly with Apnea.

Steve Hines · « **Reply #66 on:** April 19, 2012, 05:40:45 PM »

This is true Sean. I am going to get one, I want a rear exhaust that was a lot less than $400. It does not matter what is says on the motor, I cant read it form 60 feet anyway.

Silly name or not, I would like to see one run.

Hi Chris,

the muffler outlet pointing downwards throws the oil directly on the wing.
